Title: Off topic PC question
Post by: SeVeReD on January 27, 2009, 02:27:43 am
I've never quite got the hang of bios settings and usually am happy with the "auto" settings rather than overclock, but,
I was wondering if someone could clue me in as to whether the ram I have for my system is running at the 1066
it is capable of:

OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

I hope others know. I don't. But to be sure people understand your question you may rephrase it a bit. At least to me it looks like there's some typo's and no question. 8) But I assume the question is whether that memory can run at 1066 MHz ?

As I can read it, your memory is running as DDR2-800.
As you can see there are 4 presets shown for the memory to work with (JEDEC #1, #2, #3 and EPP #1).
Your current applied voltage for the memory bank is probably 1,8V, so EPP #1 isn't available, because it would need 2,1V for the memory.
If you would raise the voltage for the memory banks to 2,1V the full DDR2-1066 would be available.

Hi SeVeReD
I concur with Ava. Whilst you are in the bios, go to the boot menu & disable the "Full screen logo" then when you re-boot you should see what your memory is running at instead of the manufacturers blurb.
Happy days
